If anyone else is coming into Orlando, you should share a car with them, I think there are some buses and it's not that far(2 hours if you drive).
You'd take the toll turnpike north and then I-75 to Archer Blvd in Gainesville. It'll be the first right after the exit, you will see Motel 6 on the right side next to Waffle House.
We meet there at 8pm Fri and leave to head off for the day.
Most fly into Tampa or Orlando, whatever is cheapest. I have friends in Tampa and it's a little closer for me at the end of the Marine part than Orlando.
Some flew into JAX in Jacksonville. It's closer to Gainesville and may be cheaper.
They got speed trap tickets coming down 301 through a couple of AAA labeled speed trap hillbilly towns. Careful, 25 mph speed limit means no more than 25mph. 27 mph means a ticket.
It's going to be Hot, 90-100F most days, 100% humidity, think the Tropical Jungle.
Rain most days in the afternoon for 1-2 hours.
So we try to get an early start and out of the water by mid to late after noon.
Lightening is a real issue. There's no way to predict showers and weather other than looking at things locally and also the radar. We had a hurricane off one side of the coast one year
